Book Overview

A six-step plan for driving a wedge between the competition and the customer For sales people, convincing a potential customer to choose them over the competition is no easy task, and especially when the competition already has the account. Finally, How to Get Your Competition Fired shows readers a proven system for breaking the relationship between the competition and the customer. Randy Schwantz's method, The Wedge(r), includes a six-step plan that drives a "wedge" between the competition and the customer. He shows how to reveal the competition's shortcomings without seeming to, letting prospects decide independently to dump their current provider, exclude other competitors and, finally, switch to the salesperson's product or service. Offering real tactics, not just theory, this is the only sales strategy that really works to break the relationship between customers and the competition and bring in more business, faster than ever. Randy Schwantz (Dallas, TX) is a leading authority and expert on the sales process. A highly successful sales professional, he is a nationally respected sales trainer, author, sales coach, consultant, and public speaker. Randy is President and CEO of The Wedge Group, whose clients include Fortune 500 companies as well as small businesses.

Teaches you to work smarter not harder without the cliche's

This book blew open my old beliefs on selling with it's basic premise. Simple, but powerful. You are not just selling to your customer. You are also selling against the current provider. I had never considered the incumbant provider as part of my sales process. I had always thought of them as a nuisance that I hoped would go away. Not anymore. In my experience, sales books like this one rarely deliver much of substance...

Only for those who are intent on moving up.

If you are practitioner of Commercial Property and Casualty Insurance or are in any way exposed to the sales side of it, this is a must-read book. I would go so far to say that if you are in any industry where in order to get new business, you must unseat an incumbent, this is a must-read book. Many books related to sales are highly complex thought exercises that have not been tested in the real world. Some of the nuance...

A MUST READ for Financial Advisors

This is, by far, the most powerful book I've ever read on marketing - as it relates to my profession as a financial planner. However, I would think this book would easily translate for anyone in the service industry. How to Get Your Competition Fired realizes and addresses a problem most books on marketing don't. That is the fact that in most cases; your prospect is already dealing with your competition. Many of the books...
